Yup, I basically feel the same way. I don't hunt, and I really have no desire to hunt. When I see deer in the woods, THE LAST THING that would ever come to mind would be to shoot it with anything other than my Nikon. People, on the other hand....well....I won't go there. JK, JK, (sort of) I do enjoy target shooting and imho guns do have a certain coolness that I have always liked, ever since I was a kid.

"All my guns are people guns" - That's a shirt I have been meaning to make for a long time, just haven't gotten around to it. There is no question about it. Guns have one function, and one function alone: TO KILL. That is their soul purpose. But it is a mind that pulls the trigger. Therefore, I believe that "guns don't kill people, people kill people." And that is why cars are far worse. Because to kill someone with a gun, takes a conscious act, and in general, this is an act shunned and outlawed by society. Cars on the other hand, are 100% normal, and WE ALL drive em, and its so natural at this point, its like breathing. We don't wake up in the morning, take a shower, get dressed, and go outside and shoot people. We get in our cars and add to the BIG PICTURE PROBLEM. Guns are just an ancillary problem. Far more people die in the US due to automobile related accidents that get shot.... To me, in the US, guns are symbolic with our freedom. The moment they are completely outlawed, the government will have succeeded in taming the masses, and we will have no choice but to "OBEY". If you want to live in a world that is 100% safe and steril, then you also want to live in a very boring, controlled world.....not I. A little danger and adventure is what makes life worth living, and that is why you should enjoy every minute of it.

Sorry for what??? I've been thinking about how cool it would be to set fire to one of those dead cars out in the desert, just so I can get some cool video footage for my next short film. I just don't want to start another massive 100,000 acre fire here in Nevada.

Don't take me as some sort of tree hugging, ultra left environmentalist. I just don't go outta my way to destroy nature and kill animals. And trust me, I KNOW I AM HUMAN. I make garbage, and eat cheeseburgers, and drive a car, and consume and consume and consume, just like the rest of us. The DIFFERENCE between me and the average person, is that I am 100% conscious of my individual impact. Most people go through life and don't even think about it for a second. And that sucks....

ANYWAY, you can have your thread back now, Ldub!
